James C. Cason, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court held that Cason's claim for jail-time credit was untimely as a postconviction challenge to a sentence imposed in an illegal manner. It nevertheless reversed and remanded because the record supported possible correction under the civil rule governing clerical errors, requiring the trial court to determine whether jail-time credit granted at sentencing was mistakenly omitted from the judgment. The court also denied Cason's motion to expedite the appeal.
